<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first biography of the new President of Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Less than twenty years ago, a young, ethnic Albanian student leader called Hashim Thaçi led a revolution against Slobodan Milosevic. During a period when Western military engagement unleashed violent sectarianism, global terrorism, and became a catalyst for the biggest exodus of migrants since the Second World War, the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo remains a unique example of a process that led to a peaceful transition from vicious ethnic war to modern democracy. Thaçi is now President of Europe's youngest country.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Roger Boyes and Suzy Jagger tell the story of Europe's newest nation with scrupulous care, as can be expected from experienced and respected foreign affairs reporters ... For students who want a page-turning account of the south-east corner of Europe that has produced so much violence and hate since the end of the Cold War, this book is a highly readable introduction." - <b>International Affairs</b><br>
